World Philosophy: A Contemporary Bibliography, Vol. 3 Book

This book clarified several issues and (possibly) misunderstandings I had on writers such as Derrida, Deleuze and Foucault, and offered an introduction to Lyotard and Kristeva, whose books I have never read. It written for undergraduate students as the target audience, but general readers will benefit greatly from the book. The positive aspects of poststructuralism, as for instance concerning Enlightenment' not being against rational thought, in favor of obscurantism, but actually offering new and careful views, criticisms and creative connections perhaps beyond rationalism, is some of such clarifications from the present book (or at least a defense/interpretation by the author). Certainly, my reading of those authors will be made a little bit more interesting and contextualized, even though I might not agree with their views or grasp their intentions, but perhaps that is the way it should be... Highly recommended.
